This week, Carl discovers he loves waterslides more than his own family, recalls causing chaos at a kids’ holiday disco and explains how he once accidentally commandeered an airport lounge shower for 45 minutes. Jason, meanwhile, discovers a newfound love of Thai broth and an equally passionate hatred of zesting lemons.


For their Geordie Facts, things get considerably stranger: there’s the North East holidaymaker who allegedly went looking for a fight with Hulk Hogan, and the extraordinary tale of Freddie the Dolphin and the animal rights campaigner wrongly accused of getting far too friendly with him. Plus, the lads explore the world’s biggest airports, the strange science behind falling in love, addictive attraction and why the early stages of romance eventually become arguments about answering your phone in Asda.
